Foreteller has now won twice from four attempts over 1800 metres and has won two of his three starts at Caulfield.

Dunn believes the rise to group 1 level at Flemington in a fortnight might be a stretch – but trainer Chris Waller, who is due to establish a mini stable in Victoria next month, believes the six-year-old has earned a chance.

Justine Hales, the Waller stable representative at Caulfield, said: ''The Sydney stable is firing at the moment. We are going to open a stable down here on March 1. We will get the horses ready in Sydney, send them down and do the finishing touches down here.'' Hales then added. ''The horse is heading for the cup.''

The trainer of runner-up Mr Moet, West Australian Adam Durrant, said his galloper was also on course for the Australian Cup.

''It was pleasing. He had to do all the donkey work and he was still strong on the line. Hopefully the bigger track at Flemington suits him. The Australian Cup was why we came here,'' he said.

Stewards in Melbourne are inquiring into Durrant after a pre-race raid on stables housing Mr Moet led to the discovery of a suspect traditional Chinese medicine. Compliance Assurance Team stewards raided the stables before Mr Moet left for Caulfield.

In a sometimes tense exchange, Bailey warned Durrant about his attitude in the inquiry, which was adjourned to a date to be fixed.

Stewards also fined champion Victorian trainer Peter Moody $500 after he was found guilty of breaching the rules on raceday treatment. A member of his staff had administered vitamin and mineral substances orally to one of his Blue Diamond runners, Quest For Peace, early on Saturday morning.

''In assessing penalty stewards took into account the nature of the substance and were of the view the appropriate penalty in all circumstances be a fine of $500,'' the stewards report said. Quest For Peace ($81) finished 10th of the 14 starters.

High-class three-year-old Super Cool reversed the result of last year's Victoria Derby by beating Derby winner Fiveandahalfstar in the Autumn Classic at Caulfield but will only have two more starts this preparation.

Super Cool gave Fiveandahalfstar nearly six lengths on the home turn but finished brilliantly. Trainer Mark Kavanagh said Super Cool would run in the Alister Clarke Stakes or the Australian Cup, before having a break in preparation for the spring.
